Enormous Snowf1akes.


Enormous snowfiakes are recorded as
having fallen Jan. z, 1887. A writer in
one of the magazines publishes measure
ments of single flakes two and half
inches in length, two and three-quarter
inches in length, two and three-quarter
by two and one half and three inches
thick, and even three and one half and
four inches in length. When melted the
largest one yielded sixteen drops of water,
and many gave fourteen or fifteen drops.
The storm was only a few minutes in
duration. These unique results can be
accounted for by the fact that the tenn
perature was 32.6 degs. Fahrenheit, and
hence several ordinary flakes might be-

was allowed to take just one kiss from

A Jury Convicts a Pastor for Exhorting

Of guilty on each of the four CON-

prisoner: "From 1910 up to 1921,
when Boston became city, the cisi-

After that time this right was given
to the corporate municipality, the

the constitutional right to deliver q

FRIED BREAKFAST VEGETABLES.

Fried potatoes, hominy and mush
aside, the ordinary American break
fast is destitute of vegetables. In
the Southern and middle States
some cooks have become acquainted
with the merits Of fried and broiled
tomatoes as a breakfast dish, and
sometimes eggplant is SO served.
AS a matter Of fact a vegetable
properly fried is a great help to-
wards an economical breakfast,
giving the zest called for by a
languid appetite when meat seems
too substantial. A very narrow
List will allow for the change Of
seasons, variety being secured by
alternating the method Of frying
for instance, one morning rolling
the vegetable in dry -four seasoned
with salt and pepper, and frying it
IN only enough fat to prevent burn
ing; the next time breading it and
frying it like dougbness; another
day frying it in batter. Summer
and winter squash, pumpkin, sugar
beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, parsnip,
oyster plant, green corn, green and
ripe tomatoes; and boiled vege-
tables remaining from dinner,
minced and warmed with little
cream or butter, or heated in white
sauce, made an agreeable variety
for breakfast, and dispose of por-
Ltions not large enough to serve at
dinner the second time.

la Plueky Little Girl Who Takes
Charge Of Her Orphaned Brothers
agd Sisters.
S.,eciL to the atlanta Constitution,

NAcoN, Ca, September 2S.-
ssThere goes plucky little woman
said 8 gentleman to Constitution
reporter, as rather understood girl
with woman's rise and thoughtful
face tripped mp the long red hill on
Old CantonemeEt street. and disap.
peared over the brow Of historic Fort
Hawkins hill.
Feline about her?"
SWELL, the story is very simple
and unromantic one. Yet there is
something extremely pathetic in the
life history of little Susie burden.
Some yesrs ago, when she was but s
child in age or experience, both her
parents died, leaving to her care five
orphans younger than herself, two
brothers and three sisters, the young
est but wee babe.
LEFT motherless and fatherless,
life looked very gloomy to this little
nest Of desolate birdlings. But One
who wathes over even the sparrows,
turned the light of His all'seeing
eve on these children, and raised
them up friends in their distress.
Many q similar case has been con-
sidered as a fit charge of the orphan
asylum or the almshouse, but the
good people of East Macon hit upon
a plan by which the little ones might
be, kept together and the dear home
files remain rbbzssS.kEsn.
"a small lot was pufsshased just
over the brow of the hill, and on tt t 5hse & 6
same kindly hearts caused a house
to be erected, and there little Miss
Susie was set up in all the dignity OF
a housekeeper. That has been sew
eral years ago, and the orphaned
household has Lot been without its
sorrows. First the baby died, and
LETT the older ones in sorrow.
"Years passed. on and the eldest
brother. who wss very industrious
lad, fell a victim to disease and was
called sway. But during all hei
trials and misfortunes brave Susie
has kept the household in order, and
she and her sister Julis now earn
Ecomfortable living, and the children
have ali received regular schooling
and, are always ss neat as new pins
"If you observe her closely, Susie
is as light. hearted and merry little
lady as you will meet in Macon"

PERSONS AND THINGS.

The Presidents trip through the
South and West will cost him $1,000.
Governor Hill, Of New York,
never drinks wines or liquors Of any
sort. At q recent pubic banquet
where he was to be chief guest he re-
ouested that no wine be used.
When MIR. Cleveland was a candi-
date for president the republican pa
pers said he was unfit for the Office
because he knew little of the people
Of the United States. Now the same
papers are abusing President Cleve-
land for going about among the peo-
pie.
Six years ago Calvin Brice was
running a little bank in Lima, Ohio.
He was one of the men who built the
Nickel Plate road and sold it to
Vanderbilt at aprice which made the
builders millionaires. Mr.. BIice now
lives in Fifth avenue palace and
has contracted for a S500,0G0 home
at Newport.
The United States supreme court
having decided that privilege taxes
on drummers are not unconstitution-
al, a suit has been Instituted in
Mississippi, to compel the disgorg'
ing of all such taxes, which were
collected before this decision. Mis-
sissippi promptly acquiesced in the
supreme court decision.
A free trade paper remarks that
the repeal of the internal revenue
taxes would deprive the public treas.
ury of $4,000 year. So it would.
But how does that amount get into
the treasury 1t is wrung from the
people by the most oppressive sys'
tenn of taxation that was ever endured
in this country. And the people are
getting mighty tired of it. 1t will be

PECULIAR CASE
A Husband Who Does Not Know His
Wife Is a AIclatto.
Parkesburs, Ta., Journal.

Parkes1ms, Ta., Journal.
Among the people at the circus to-
day, were 8 young married couple
from Ohio, of whom the wife is Of the
negro race and the husband OF the
Caucasian. The very peculiar feature
of the case is that the husband does
not know that his wife has colored
blood in her veins. They are both
quite young and have been married
less than year.
The girl formerly lived in this city,
where she was employed as domes.
tic, but came here, originally, from
out the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
somewhere in the neighborhood of
Clarksburg. She is good looking
brunette and shows bnt little trace
Of her African blood, notwithstand.
ing the fsct chat her=mother was of
the darkest ebony, as is well known
by plenty Of people in this city.
The young man is the SON of 8
weil.to. do farmer in Ohio. He met
the girl here, becsme attached to her
and about yesr ago they were mar
ried. It is said that he has never
had the slightest intimssion or sus.
picion of the fact that his bride has 8
drop of. colored blood in her VEINS
as she has been very careful to con-
ceal the fact from him. They live
happily together, his case illustrating
the old adage that where ignorance
.s bliss it's a good deal worse than
folly to know some things that your
ncighbors know.

Thad Stevens on John Brown.

Ex-Cressurer F. E. Spinner IN g.
recent letter to the Hon. Eli Thayer,
of Worcester, Mass, relates the fol-
lowing: II saw lately newspaper
account in which, the statement was
made that John Brown was captured
by Virgins militia. I know this: to
be untrue, so referred to the Pee-
ple's Cyclopedia, and there found,
by inference, the same mis:statement.
1t says: Brown fingered in the town
until evening, by which. time 1850
militiamen arrived. Brown was cap
tuzed.' On. my way to Washington
iu November, 1>59, the Hon. Thad-
deus Stevens came sbosrd the train
at Philadelphia, and took seat be-
side me. At the Relay house, where
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
makes q junction, Governor Wise
and Senator Mason boarded the
same csr, and took seats directly op-
posite US. They had come from
Harper's ferry, and discussed the
John Brown affair. They saidthings
that displeased US. said to Mr..
Stevens that it was pity that Brown
had not been sentences, sso prison for
life, instead of being made martyr
by hanging. Mr.. Stevens had eyi.
vently longed for an opportunity to
give the two eminent Virgins states
men shot in return, snd. turned to
me and said in loud voice: No,
sir; he ought to have been hanged
for attempting to capture Virginia
with q dozen white men, FIVE negroes,
and an old cow. Why, sir he said,
he ought to have taken st least thir-
ty men to have captured Virgioia.'

almost unknown to them. Another
thing peculiar to the young people
who misuse English in this way is,
the boys wear their hats indoors,
are noisy, crowd past older people,
monopolize comfortable seats to the
exclusion of those less able to stand
while the girls who talk in this way
are sure to be the girls who laugh
loudly in hotel corridors, and
treat their mothers and fathers dis
respectfully. Young ladies and
gentlemen take time to pronounce
their words, and give the letters
their full value. There is a very
close relation between good Ian
